Question

zuppose you have entered a 53 mikle biathathalon THAT CONSUISTS OF  run and bicylce race  your averAGE RUn VELOCITY IS 10 M/HR and 23 /hour during your bicycle  you finish in 4 hours

wha tis is the distanc eof the run

what is the distanc eof hte bicycle race

Expert Solution
Step 1

Suppose distance covered by run be x

So, distance covered by bike be 53-x

Step 2

Average velocity of run= 10

Total time taken in run=  distance covered/ velocity

=x/10  …..(1)

Average velocity of biking= 23

Total time taken in run= distance covered/ velocity

=23/(53-x)  …..(2)
